Jackson Griffith

Jackson Griffith

OBITUARY:
Death, the grim monster that is dreaded by all, was again in our midst and once more the funeral took up its solemn march to the white-sheeted nation of the dead, the grave and the silent tomb. Death is always doing his deadly work by robbing us of the sweetest ties of nature which bound us with love and affection. But ties in this world must be severed. Christ the Redeemer of mankind, snapped the jaws of death and delivered us from the grave to the city of Jerusalem, to be with those who have left us. Oh death, where is thy sting! Oh, grave, where is thy victory! The sting of death is sin, but thanks be to God Who giveth us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jackson Griffith was born in Center township, Monroe county, O., August 13, 1818 and spent all his life on the farm adjoining his birthplace.

He died February 14, 1908 [Monroe Co., OH], being at the time of his departure, 89 years, 6 months and 1 day of age. He was the son of William and Mary Griffith and the youngest of ten children. All the other members of the family preceded him to the better world years ago, except one sister, who died Nov. 15, 1907.

He was first married to Mary K. Mobley, April 16, 1844. One child, Mary, was born to this union, who died in her youth.

He married his second wife, Elizabeth Foreman, April 1, 1847. To this union were born two children, Margaret A. and Nancy J., both of whom died in their youth.

On January 9, 1851, at Antioch, he married his third wife, Mary Brownfield. To this union was born one daughter, Hannah S. Griffith, who survives him. His third wife died March 24, 1882.

His fourth and last wife was Mrs. Sarah A. Trigg, whom he married May 13, 1884, whom still survives him.

He was converted in 1853 and united with the Baptist church, which was his choice, in a country schoolhouse near Cranenest creek, being a member of that church for fifty-five years. He was a deacon of the church for the past thirty-five years. He informed the writer that he struck the first blow with his ax toward building the first Baptist church at Neuhart Ridge. He was always faithful to the church, showing a good, Christian character and living a life admired by all who knew him.

He leaves to mourn his departure a loving companion, one daughter, Mrs. Hannah S. Griffith, one step-son, Geo. E. Trigg, three grandchildren, one step-grandson, four great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

On Sunday, February 16, short services were held at his home after which his remains were followed to the Neuhart Baptist church by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, where the funeral services were held by Rev. W. E. Fletcher, of Jackson ridge, after which his remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Neuhart cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.

There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore.
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.

There is no death; an angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread.
He bears our best loved ones away
And then we call them dead.

And ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life; there is no dead.

Walter Clinton Burkhart

Walter Clinton Burkhart

PARENTS: Charles Burkhart and Catherine Louise Lang

OCCUPATION: Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and college professor at the University of Georgia

MILITARY: He served as first lieutenant in the Veterinary Corps in World War II.

OBITUARY:
Dr. Walter Clinton Burkhart, 104, died Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1996 [Athens, Clarke Co., GA].

A native of Woodsfield, Ohio [14 May 1892, Monroe Co., OH], Dr. Burkhart was a son of the late Charles Burkhart and Catherine Lang Burkhart.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Pearl Pennington Burkhart.

Dr. Burkhart received his D.V.M. degree in 1916 from the School of Veterinary Medicine, Ohio State University, where he was member of Alpha Psi social fraternity. He came to Athens {GA] in 1916 as an instructor in bacteriology at the University of Georgia and also was director of the State Hog Cholera Virus and Serum Laboratory.

In 1933, the veterinary program was discontinued and Dr. Burkhart joined the College of Arts and Sciences, where he taught bacteriology and was head of the bacteriology department. His basic bacteriology class was a required class for students in five different colleges. In 1957, he joined the College of Veterinary Medicine and taught until his retirement in 1960 at the age of 67.

During his 44 years of teaching at the university he influenced many students who remember him today not only as an exceptional teacher but also as one whose high standards required that they perform at their best.

Some of Dr. Burkhart's major contributions to science have been in the fields of hog cholera virus & serum production, bacterial examination of milk, control of infectious abortion in cattle, streptococci mastitis, protozoal disease of domestic animals, bacterial vaccines and white diarrhea of chickens.

Dr. Burkhart was nationally known and an outstanding man in the field of science. He was selected for "Who's Who, American Men of Science."

He was a fellow in the American Association of Science for the Advancement of Science and was a member of the Society of American Bacteriologists.

He was a member of the Honorary Society of Phi Kappa Phi & Phi Zeta. He was president of the South Eastern Branch of the Society of American Bacteriologists. He was a member of the Mount Vernon Lodge 22 F. and A.M. and completed 75 years in the Masonic fraternity.

He served as first lieutenant in the Veterinary Corps in World War II.

The University of Georgia and the citizens of this state are indeed fortunate that a man of this caliber devoted his entire life to the instruction of students and the advancement of science.

OBITUARY: Died 23 Sep 1859, Woodsfield, Monroe Co., OH.
Col. Cornelius Okey, one of the earliest settlers in this country, died at his residence one half mile north of this place, on Friday morning, Sept. 23, 1859. He was the eldest son of Judge Levin Okey, and was born in Lewiston, Sussex County, Delaware, on the 3rd of January 1783. In the spring of 1800, he removed with his father's family to the mouth of Captina, in Belmont County, in this State, where, on the 5th of February, 1805, he was married to Hannah Wier, whom he survived seven years. The issue of the marriage was thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters, all of whom are still living.

In the Spring of 1815, he removed to the farm on which he resided at the time of his decease. We do not use the word farm as now understood, for then it was an unbroken forest. Here he settled down, cleared out his farm, reared his family, and grew up with the country. At that day the facilities for acquiring an education were extremely limited, but being possessed of a strong native intellect, he to a very considerable extent overcame the disadvantage of the lack of early education; and shortly after the organization of the county, we find him filling important political stations. In 1825, he represented the county in State legislature, and afterwards was re-elected to the same office several times. He also filled the office of Auditor and Recorder and that of Sheriff from 1835 to 1839, and was a Justice of the Peace for many years. All these stations he filled with satisfaction to his constituents, and credit to himself.

The virtues of bravery and hospitality he possessed in common with nearly all the pioneers of the Western country. And although as we have just stated, he was frequently elevated by the free choice of his fellow citizens to posts of honor and importance, yet he was remarkably plain and unassuming in his manners; and however dark the future appeared to others, he was ever hopeful, ever cheerful.

He was buried by the Masons of Monroe Lodge, with all the ceremonies of that ancient order, with which he had been connected nearly forty years. The interment was in a private family burying ground in the orchard planted with his own hands. He was followed to his last resting place by an unusual number of actual descendants. Twelve out of the thirteen were there, the sons with their wives and the daughters with their husbands, and besides he was mourned by a large number of grand children and great grand children.

Col. Okey had the most unyielding faith in the final happiness of all mankind, and no one ever entered more cheerfully on his journey to that "undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." We had the pleasure of seeing and conversing with him the day prevoius to his death, and we found him gently sinking to rest, as a tired child sinks into sleep on its mother's lap. Thus full of years and of honors, was he gathered to his fathers. "May our last end be like his." Woodsfield September 28th 1859. W.P.R.

Belinda C. Yockey was born in Woodsfield, Ohio, July 8, 1835. There she grew to womanhood. In 1852 she was united in marriage to Charles Yockey at Stafford, that state. Mr. and Mrs. Yockey resided at Stafford until the death of Mr. Yockey, which occurred in 1895. Soon after that Mrs. Yockey came west, subsequently living with her children at Hull, this state. She came to Emmetsburg twelve years ago with her daughter, Mrs. W. E. Losey, remaining with her until the time of her death. Mrs. Yockey was the mother of one son and seven daughters. Six of the daughters were present at their mother's bedside at the time of death.

For six years Mrs. Yockey was a helpless invalid. Only once from the commencement of her protracted and discomforting sickness was she able to leave her room. She fully realized that she could never recover and that even temporary relief could not be given to her; but for hours, days, nights, months, years, she bore with the sublime Christian resignation her severe affliction. She was willing to undergo greater physical and mental distress, should Providence will it. During all those trying years her devoted daughter, Mrs. Losey, cared for her, consoled her, and strove as best she could to make her as comfortable as possible. How she stood so well the severe strain under which she labored was a surprise indeed to her friends and neighbors. There are perhaps few cases in history in which a daughter did more for a loving mother. Now that Mrs. Yockey is gone, what a consolation to the attentive, patient, affectionate daughter to realize that she did so much to lighten her sorrow. If the giving of a cup of cold water to one of Gods little ones, in his name, is not to go unrewarded, what blessings there must be in store for those who spend years in providing for the needs of the helpless.

The sympathy of our many citizens are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Losey and the other relatives in their bereavement. (Source: unknown - furnished by Janet Downing)

OBITUARY: Died 23 Sep 1859, Woodsfield, Monroe Co., OH.
Col. Cornelius Okey, one of the earliest settlers in this country, died at his residence one half mile north of this place, on Friday morning, Sept. 23, 1859. He was the eldest son of Judge Levin Okey, and was born in Lewiston, Sussex County, Delaware, on the 3rd of January 1783. In the spring of 1800, he removed with his father's family to the mouth of Captina, in Belmont County, in this State, where, on the 5th of February, 1805, he was married to Hannah Wier, whom he survived seven years. The issue of the marriage was thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters, all of whom are still living.

In the Spring of 1815, he removed to the farm on which he resided at the time of his decease. We do not use the word farm as now understood, for then it was an unbroken forest. Here he settled down, cleared out his farm, reared his family, and grew up with the country. At that day the facilities for acquiring an education were extremely limited, but being possessed of a strong native intellect, he to a very considerable extent overcame the disadvantage of the lack of early education; and shortly after the organization of the county, we find him filling important political stations. In 1825, he represented the county in State legislature, and afterwards was re-elected to the same office several times. He also filled the office of Auditor and Recorder and that of Sheriff from 1835 to 1839, and was a Justice of the Peace for many years. All these stations he filled with satisfaction to his constituents, and credit to himself.

The virtues of bravery and hospitality he possessed in common with nearly all the pioneers of the Western country. And although as we have just stated, he was frequently elevated by the free choice of his fellow citizens to posts of honor and importance, yet he was remarkably plain and unassuming in his manners; and however dark the future appeared to others, he was ever hopeful, ever cheerful.

He was buried by the Masons of Monroe Lodge, with all the ceremonies of that ancient order, with which he had been connected nearly forty years. The interment was in a private family burying ground in the orchard planted with his own hands. He was followed to his last resting place by an unusual number of actual descendants. Twelve out of the thirteen were there, the sons with their wives and the daughters with their husbands, and besides he was mourned by a large number of grand children and great grand children.

Col. Okey had the most unyielding faith in the final happiness of all mankind, and no one ever entered more cheerfully on his journey to that "undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." We had the pleasure of seeing and conversing with him the day prevoius to his death, and we found him gently sinking to rest, as a tired child sinks into sleep on its mother's lap. Thus full of years and of honors, was he gathered to his fathers. "May our last end be like his." Woodsfield September 28th 1859. W.P.R.
